Substitute Teacher Preparatory Program
Description
The CESA 7 Virtual Substitute Teacher Preparatory Program is a complete virtual experience designed to prepare participants to be effective substitute teachers. This virtual experience provides ultimate flexibility allowing participants to start at any time & complete coursework when it is most convenient. Through CESA 7, participants will receive access to the Master Teacher online learning platform to complete the Foundations of Effective Substitute Teacher Training courses. CESA 7 will also provide support and guidance with the Department of Public Instruction’s application process for the Substitute Teacher License.
School districts may also inquire about the creation of a district specific platform that can be built to support current and eligible staff members in becoming substitute teachers. This creates excellent flexibility for current paraprofessionals or other district support staff to serve the district as a substitute teacher as well.

Licensing Support

We understand this step may be intimidating or confusing for candidates so we have built an option that will provide in-person assistance to complete.
